      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Cutting edge products, great people to work with. Leadership encourage innovation. Culture of accountability.

      Cons

      Old boys network. Job blocking to maintain key talent in roles as long as possible. Limited opportunity for growth. Sexism both implicit and overt. Not enough women leaders and male leadership holding positions for far too long.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Research used to be a great open environment where you could form collaborations and explore new ideas across departments. Benefits are very nice.

      Cons

      It has become a development pipeline producing the same type of assay over and over. Management has become micromanaging, unsupportive and stingy.

      Great Family Culture: Poor Treatment of Temporary/Contract Workers

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working at Roche is like being part of a family. People look out for each other and act in a manner that is friendly and professional. This company is great to start out with, has amazing opportunities for those who are willing to diversify their skill set, and is an overall joy to work for. Management works with their employees and aims to take care of their own.

      Cons

      Compensation has been declining over the years. Benefits are good, but salaries are low and upper management seems reluctant to keep their pay rates competitive with anything but the lowest of industry estimates. Vertical movement is difficult to achieve. Contract/temp workers are not paid competitively and are 'forced' into cut-rate benefits policies from Roche's choice of staffing firms. Management ignores the contract workers and seems hesitant to provide any kind of advancement opportunities. Some temps have been here 8 YEARS doing consistently great work but are overlooked for permanent positions.
